Hi --

I'm starting to use latex export more, and noticed three problems
related to tables:

  - If the first column in a table has an inactive time stamp, then
    strange things happen -- in various tests, I've seen only
    seemingly random cells from a long table exported, or sometimes
    only the header row (that doesn't have the time stamp in it) and
    no other rows exported.
  - If the text in the first column begins with a left bracket, then
    the first cell in each row is blank.
  - If a table is long enough that it should continue on a following
    page, there's no page break -- instead, lines continue into the
    bottom margin. What fits on that page prints, but nothing else
    prints. If I break the table at the bottom of the page with an
    empty line, the rest of the table continues as expected on the
    following page.

At least with the current version I cannot reproduce this - but I
have been fiddling with the Export.  Please try if you still have
this issue, and if yes, make me a test case.

Same as above.

This is a problem with LaTeX, a special environment is needed
for such tables, and because Org does not know the font and paper
sizes, it cannot automatically switch.

However, you can do now:

#+ATTR_LaTeX: longtable

| a | b | c |
|-----------|
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
.........


which will switch to the long table environment just for this table.

Hope this helps.
